Can't wait for tomorrow's match. Away vs Leeds.

If any of your clubs ever sink to the depths of the second division you will appreciate being able to watch them on weekly streams a lot more. Frantically searching for BBC WM on shit radios isn't the one.

I would take a draw tomorrow.

Not sure how they're doing this year but Leeds looked pretty tight during the first half of the cup match vs. Liverpool. I'm stoked for Chelsea vs Man City, waking up early on my birthday just to watch. If only there was a way both teams could lose... :D

I really don't want either of those to win the league.

If United can't do it, I would love to see Spurs pull it off.

Cuthbert 12-02-2016 11:15 AM

My only issue with Spurs is that it's another club from London. I had hoped Leicester could go on and become a force in the Midlands but that looks unlikely now. Unless they can stay up and win the European Cup...

Spurs are not unlikable for a neutral though.

I knew Leicester didn't have a chance this year but I was hoping they would at least put up a fight. Watford are in 8th but aside from that the table is fairly typical. What happened to the Hammers? Thought they might do something this year.

Not sure but where they are now is about their level. It would be perfect if they were playing Championship football in their half filled athletics bowl.

If the British public had been told that the best part of £1bn was going to fund a new stadium which they had no need for after London 2012, it was going to host a few races for a fortnight and then it would be handed to West Ham pretty much free of charge they quite rightly would have said 'fuck off'. But that's exactly what's happened. There is even talk of having to knock it down and rebuild it because it's just not suitable for football. Even some Hammers are not happy with it.

'Legacy' my arse.

Is it possible that Leicester could actually achieve a (surely unwanted) record, and be the only team (I know of) to win the title and be relegated the following season? :yikes: Who'd take that bet now?

Why not? Surely that's what hammers do best, knocking things down? ;)

I agree, they just have a few players I rate and was hoping they would at least put up a challenge this year. Things are too comfy for the big teams this season.

No way. Palace, Sunderland, and Hull. Palace because **** Pardew, Sunderland because **** Moyes, and Hull because... well it's Hull.
